I have this thing called Golfer's elbow, which I get from... Knitting. Knitting is one of those super lazy-girl-friendly arts. You sit there curled up in front of your favorite costume drama and drink tea and oh yeah, knit. It all fits in your purse, you don't have to do a lot of prep to get to it, you just hunker down and pick up you needles. Suddenly an evening watching BBC dramas turns into time well spent because you have (depending on the project) several inches of knitting to show for your time of relaxation. Win/win, except when you do too much and get recurring Golfer's elbow. So I have learned to see the warning signs and lay aside the needles for prolonged knitting fasts. During these dry spells my idol hands yearn for creative occupation, so I do what I can. Embroidery seems to hold a similar appeal for me right now because it is easy and instant. Easy as in I just sit down with the hoop and needle, instant, that I can see rapid progress. Here is my latest little something. When finished it will be a tiny quilt with embroidered mushrooms.
